iPad Sales Top 3 Million

Apple has announced that it’s sold 3 million iPads -– less than three months since the device hit stores. In a statement, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said: “People are loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives. We're working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more people around the world, including those in nine more countries next month."

It would appear that iPad sales aren’t slowing down at all since launch –- in fact, they might be accelerating. The company announced it had hit two million devices sold just 22 days ago, whereas it took the company 28 days to sell its first million devices, and another month to sell its second. With the device going on sale in more countries in July, those numbers could jump even faster.

Apple also seems content to keep the spotlight squarely on them this week. It’s probably no coincidence that yesterday we saw price cuts on both Kindle and Nook, and today we’re reminded that iPad is continuing to sell exceptionally well. Furthermore, with everyone expecting a new Droid phone to be announced tomorrow, this morning saw reports that some iPhone 4 customers will be getting their devices a day early.
